Why does the new inventory UI show less items on Expanded than before?

I have to agree, I really do not like this new expanded UI for inventory. It doesn't feel expanded anymore, I'd prefer an option to have the old UI back.

I actually logged into the forums for the first time ever solely to add my support to this thread. This change is absolutely horrible. I was so excited to log in this morning, combine all my material stacks (with all crafters and gatherers at 70 I keep a LOT of materials and was super stoked for the 999 stacks), and ogle my pretty, crazy organized multiple retainers.

All I did was get ticked off. My super anal organized retainers were a MESS of confusion and I still haven't been able to touch them because it just gets under my skin. I haven't even touched the new saddlebags that I was excited for because I can't get motivated to look at the rest of my inventory to decide what I want to keep there.

Added to the OCD part of my organization, now I have to click between a third freaking tab on every single retainer. Yay for more carpal tunnel flare ups just to do one of the most basic things in an MMO.

just to pile on - Expanded Inventory View is worse after 4.2 update.

Please put it back to the way it was. With the way it is now you might was well remove Expanded as it's now almost useless.
